I don’t need to list the reasons why I love using the crockpot, the convenience and ease is obvious.

Servings: 10 people

Ingredients
  • 1 3-4 lb pork shoulder (butt) roast
  • 1 cup cherry coke, for cooking process
  • salt and pepper as desired
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce, your favourite, I used Sweet Baby Rays Original
  • 1 cup cherry coke, for sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
Instructions
  1. Rinse and pat dry roast. Season with salt and pepper, and place in the slow cooker insert

  2. Add the 1 cup of cherry coke into the slow cooker bowl, cover and cook on low for approximately 6 – 7 hours, or high for 4 – 5 . ** see notes below

  3. When cooking time is complete, with 2 large forks, remove the pork and begin to separate (shred) the meat into strands. When it’s all separated, set aside.

  4. Drain the cooking liquids from the inside of the insert. Discard

  5. In a bowl, mix together the remaining 1 cup of cherry coke, the bbq sauce, and the cornstarch slurry

  6. Pour into the slow cooker bowl and add the shredded pork. 

  7. Turn the slow cooker back up to high and let it cook for another ½ hour to an hour. Enjoy! 

Recipe Notes

Pork.org suggests to cooking the pork until “tender”, not giving it a specific internal temperature. I usually don’t go by temperature, as by the time that the pork is able to be shredded, it will be fully cooked. However, if you prefer to know temps, then please refer to this site: pork.org/cooking/pork-temperature/

CORNSTARCH SLURRY: Mix together the cornstarch and water, combining well as if you leave it the mixture untouched for a minute or two, the cornstarch settles to the bottom of the bowl. Mix it well just before adding into the sauce mixture to ensure you use all the cornstarch.

#7 – This is an approximate cooking time. All slow cookers heat to different temps at varying rates. My slow cooker only needed a half hour to come to temp and thicken, but yours might be slightly different.

    I’ve used regular Coke before for ribs, but I’ve never thought to try Cherry Coke! I’ll have to try this one! I’ve been teaching my dad the greatness of slow cookers lately as he has had to step up and help more in the kitchen. I think he’d like this one too!
